Echoes of the Brother Countries

Between 1949 and 1990, thousands of people migrated to the German Democratic Republic (GDR) from countries such as Algeria, Angola, Chile, Cuba, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Syria, and Vietnam. Their stories remain largely untold. The exhibition and research project Echoes of the Brother Countries is dedicated to the often overlooked political, economic, educational, and artistic links, as well as the exchange and migration movements between the GDR and other socialist-orientated states, the so-called brother countries.

Without Poetry, We Wouldn't Be Here! (Thumbnail)

Without Poetry, We Wouldn't Be Here!

In the chaos of current world events, poetry is often one of the last remaining anchors— a voice of consolation or simply a means of keeping focus. On the historic date of the expansion of the war in Ukraine, poets with different mother tongues read from their works—against despair, in solidarity, and for a togetherness that cannot be divided into national camps. They are united through their verse.

RAW ON—Ancestral technologies of resistance

RAW ON—Ancestral technologies of resistance, a collaboration with Luso-Angolan producer DJ Firmeza, was developed through Ana Pi’s exploration of vitality generated through the act of walking in Angolan Capoeira. The Ginga walk, named after the Angolan anti-colonial warrior queen, finds its intensity in the singular flow and percussive aspect of post-kuduro music. Guided by the sonic threads created by DJ Firmeza, Ana Pi’s choreography constitutes a new reading of traditional sacred and popular dances, where there is always a dialogue taking place between the basic steps and the drumming.

Theatre of Reconciliation: Max Czollek in Conversation with Naika Foroutan

In the discussion series Theatre of Reconciliation, Max Czollek encounters people who are exploring questions of memory. How do societies remember? What does the much-lauded German Erinnerungskultur—culture of remembrance—have to do with the question of belonging? What does remembrance mean for the German, European, and international present?

Inherited Testimonies

Inherited Testimonies is a live performance of culturally inherited, collective testimonies, delivered by traditional leaders and oral historians within a continuously transformed visual and auditory immersive environment—a large projection of evolving architectural and environmental scenes—conceived by Forensic Architecture/Forensis. This project, led by the Nama Traditional Leaders Association (NTLA) and the Ovaherero Traditional Authority (OTA), seeks to uncover traces of the genocide buried within the Namibian environment but present in the hearts of its affected communities, within the transformed physical environment, climate, vegetation, and the oral tradition of its peoples.
